The old spent petal

The old spent petal

dangles from the flower

thinking ‘What a journey!”

Summer hot Saturday

Summer hot Saturday

Cursing the traffic

Makes my red juice sweeter

She sleeps

She sleeps with hair undone.

Eyelids, two purple flowers.

But does she dream?

Tawdry old terrace house

The tawdry old terrace house

is unhappy being painted

lipstick pink.

Children in the next room

Children in the next room.

Very quiet. Are they hatching

wicked schemes?

Afternoon

Afternoon.

Girls jumping puddles.

Rainbow over the cemetery.
